I was unaware that you make glass items directly from bags of sand.

So one of my forts has a mountain of useless raw green glass as gems, when I thought I was stockpiling glass resources T_T

you can decoraye with them, at least.

That fort also has the most robust agriculture, prepared food, and textile industry I've ever created T_T Decorated items are worthless when I can dump 60,000 wealth in prepared food on the trade caravans without breaking a sweat.
decorate furniture for your dwarves.

Gods fighting each other and the world flooded with water? Sounds like Tuesday.

WWUD if the haulers unionized and demanded breaks, fair wages, safety inspections and the removal of minecart rollercosters?

Fire the magma cannons! Into the dining hall!

WWUD if he found a problem magma couldn't solve?

Year 4. Population 20

Both the male and female moleweasels are asexual. Not a single litter. My one tuskox bull prefers other bulls.

No marriages. No children. Only two dwarves are lovers.

This is the longest I've kept a low population. My fps averages 150. Normally it's down to 50 by this time, but I usually have 80+ dwarves by then. I think most of the extra bodies were needed to continuously make clothes and drinks for that many. Stuff is getting done at population 20.

I may have discovered dwarftopia. It even has undead keas.

Edit: half of the dwarves are over 80 years old. Youngest is 57. I appear to have started a retirement community.

That's preposterous. Dwarven retirement consists of maulings, magma, drowning, elves, other dwarves, wildlife, undead, poisonings, infections, lengthy hospital stays followed by FURTHER maulings, starvation, dying of thirst, booze explosions, long falls, ghosts, fire, superbeasts, elephants, sponges, carp,  and forgotten beast secretions.  And stabbings! Don't forget the stabbings!

Well, thanks sealy star.

Yes, i do as well.

Wait, your vermin corpses produce miasma ? Are you playing 40d ?

They stopped doing that?  What version? I thought I was just getting better at making sure I had spare corpse haulers, and I always made sure to have an atom-smasher dump to take care of them before the miasma hit.

When I started playing, I was pretty well-prepared, having watched youtube tutorials and having looked stuff up in the wiki. Therefore, my first proper fortress ran rather smooth, although it had a lot of idlers. Then I accidentally disabled cancellation announcements. Then I ran out of barrels. Then of booze. By the time I had fixed the problem, four people had already died of thirst.
Then, uh, tantrum spiral. When it died down, I had gone from about 150 dwarves to 20 and my militia commander had gained a title from killing the berserk dwarves. The fortress only survived because I had set everyone who was not insane to making coffins. Also a bunch of migrants arrived.
Everything was full of blood and discarded clothes belonging to dead people were lying around everywhere.
Sadly, I don't have the save anymore.

Doors are also useful in locking tantrumming dwarves in their room (or their workshop or whatever) until they cool down.

I don't recall them ever doing that, and I started with .31.04

Death. They calm down through death.
